It can usually be distinguished from its relatives however, by its dark green leaves which become purple in full sun exposure. (This species is almost as dark as its relative Haworthia maraisii.) The leaves have a scabrous (rough) sub-tuberculate, slightly translucent surface, covered in faint, parallel lines and sometimes light flecked markings.
Wilted and discolored leaves or leaves with visible pests may recover with treatment, but slimy, sunburned, torn, or holey leaves should also be removed to give your plant more energy to heal.
The opposite leaves are strongly reduced to small fleshy scales with a narrow dry margin, hairless, unstalked and united at the base, thus enclosing and forming a succulent sheath around the stem, which gives it the appearance of being composed of jointed segments. [2] [3] Many species are green, but their foliage turns red in autumn. Older ...
Aeonium, the tree houseleeks, is a genus of about 35 species of succulent, subtropical plants of the family Crassulaceae.Many species are popular in horticulture. The genus name comes from the ancient Greek αἰώνιος / aiōnios (ageless). [1]
The rosettes are typically 0.5 to 4 cm (0.20 to 1.57 in) wide, covered in succulent leaves. The leaves are deciduous, and wither in the early summer, not being replaced until after the first rains. Each leaf is 1.5 to 4 cm (0.59 to 1.57 in) long by 5 to 12 mm (0.20 to 0.47 in) wide, with an elliptic to elliptic-ovate shape and an acute tip.
The leaves are stacked, and near the base of the rosette they are larger. Near the top of a rosette, the leaves gradually get smaller and change into floral bracts, as the stem forms a long, pointed inflorescence. [4] It is a small, succulent herb (15–40 cm in height) - with stems that are either erect or rambling and mat-forming.
It reaches sizes of approximately 10–15 cm (4–6 in) tall, with fleshy leaves that are linear and simple and can grow up to 1.5 inches long and a trailing stem that hangs down. [2] These fleshy roots help provide the ability for the plants to recover and grow rapidly if a disturbance has occurred.
Succulents are remarkable plants. Yes, you read that correctly: Using the fallen leaves and stem cuttings from the succulents in your current collection, you can grow new ones via a process known ...
